Fully CSS driven: All files are fully commented, and the design has been made easy to modify. The CSS used for layout and coloring are in separate files allowing easy customization of colors, without having to wander throughout the layout styles.

Download and Installation

Download the skin package (ZIP or TAR) and unzip it into your skins directory (usually pmwiki/pub/skins).

Add the following to your local configuration file:
$Skin = 'colorimetry';

If you use a page logo, add this to config.php:

$PageLogoUrl="URL_TO_IMAGE";

Optionally set the logo height and width. The skin will calculate this for you, but if you know the dimensions you should specify them, including the units of measure (ie, 'px'):

$PageLogoUrlWidth='154px';
$PageLogoUrlHeight='24px';

If you do not use a page logo, or want to override the default logo, add this to config.php:

BlogIt for Blogs

Colorimetry fully supports the BlogIt blogging engine, automatically -- you don't need to do anything other than install BlogIt.

Page Layout

Blue: Included pages. These can be edited as normal PmWiki pages.

Green: PmWiki variables. Usually set in config.php.

Red: Disable section. Markup is for in-page use; SetTmplDisplay is for use in config.php.

Sections can be removed from the page or the site with special markup.

Turn off sections on a page with markup (:noXXX:).

Turn off sections for the whole site in config.php by setting:

SetTmplDisplay('PageXXXFmt', 0);

Header

You can set the Title and the Tag-line by setting the following in config.php:

$WikiTitle = "My site";
$WikiTag = "Site description";

The wiki file Site.SiteHeader can be overridden with a Group level page. If you want to change the layout of the header edit either {$Group}.SiteHeader or {$SiteGroup}.SiteHeader. The default value for the header is:

Known Issues

bug: Styling problems cause unreadable text. The table of contents title looks white on white background. Even worse for the ?action=diff display which may need an override of the core styles $HTMLStylesFmt['diff'] from pagerev. (Reported by Petko)
